A/N: this one is happy…..I think. Hah. Oh, and, they're all connected, in one way or other. It has a planned out end (not middle, end) and there will only be about ten or so.
"Once upon a time…There was a boy…who lived on an island…all alone…at least, there were no other humans…However…the boy, being raised and named by the birds and seals, could speak Saedthar, and that washow they spoke, and so, indeed he was not…alone…And they had named him Aillill, because that had been a powerful king in the past. And so, Aillill grew, and they told him tales of faraway lands, and men of great power and promise, and quests and swords and courage and honor, and they filled his head with heroes, and his heart with compassion…And were not surprised when, after he had grown into a fine young man, he expressedhis wish to travel, and be great…because, this is what they had made him into…And, though it took many years…and he was past his prime…he built a boat…and sailed away…and had many strange and curious events happen to him…Because, they had made him a hero, and heroes always have odd adventures…Still, he became old…older…and he wasn't a hero anymore, because…his joints creaked…and it was too cold…and too wild…So, he looked for a home…and he found, a small village, with kind people…who did not mind a wild old man, who spoke a bizarre language…and he built a cottage…And the people…taught him of their ways…and of their language…and he lived a happy life…and so did people that knew him…especially…the little girl…but…that…would be cheating, because…that one isn't ready yet…and neither are you…"
Sometimes the stories were happy. Sometimes, they just prepared the way-getting closer to the end. But, mostly, they ended in fear, and remorse, and anger, because, humans have a way of forgetting the horrible parts.
